'Clip Name' Effect is adjusting the timing of my clip

Hi,

So this is a bizarre problem I haven't seen before:

I'm editing a project in Adobe Premiere and I'm currently preparing a reference video for a colorist.  I've been adding the Clip Name effect to my clips so they can have that information, but I've noticed that when I "on" and "off" the effect on some of the clips, the actual timing of the clip has changed.  For example, on one shot of a car going across the bridge, the clip appears to move backwards several frames after the Clip Name effect is a applied.  I've added screenshots for reference.  This doesn't happen on every clip in the sequence but I haven't found a reason why it should happen at all and it's obviously a big problem because my reference video will be incorrect.  Has anyone encountered this problem before/have a solution?

There are sometimes issues with adding other effects to Time Remapped clips.  The solution has been to nest that clip, apply Time Remapping to the original, and additional effects to the nest.

Any Time Remapping on those clips?

Yes there is some time remapping on those clips, though I noticed that I did not have this problem with other clips that had similar time remapping.

I believe there are 4 clips total with which I am having the problem and that have been time remapped in a range of 125% and 250%.

Thanks!

Update: 

1.) The problem also seems to happen when I use the Timecode effect.

2.) One work around I've tried is to use the Clip Name effect on an adjustment layer instead of the clip itself.  That actually seems to work just fine for the Clip Name effect in that this problem does not manifest when applied in this way.  I would still like to figure it out, however, because the timecode effect isn't useful to me on the adjustment layer - I really want to use it on the clips so I get the timecode of the source clip.
